Fat is the new gold standard across the galaxy, it's uses are many and well received.
Here at ARF we pride ourselves in how well our livestock is maintained. We fatten them up then just pop them in the extractor, once 'milked' in a safe and humane way, they are returned to the feeding pens and the cycle continues, yep safe and sustainable, no stock killed or harmed XD
This was definitely a feat to overcome with this image, I'm going to post an original untouched version in the comments to show you what I had to work with, maybe I'll even create a blog post about it.
Anyway I had the idea in my head and in the spur of the moment I asked my friend Scott to be my hand model and had him posing his hands around all the trees, no hands were copy and pasted!
The original photo had too many distracting elements in it, the bright sky coming through the trees, the color of the trees were too bright compared to the hands, making the hands not pop out as much to the viewer. I played around with this image a lot and yesterday lost 8 hours of time on it due to my stupidity and accidentally deleting everything I had done on it yesterday so I took it in a new direction and added a red tone to the original green flora, added texture to the trees, and darkened the entire image so that the hands were the story. It also looks really awesome in Black and White which I'll post another time. Enjoy!
The equivalent of air guitar....choreography for the full service trains for Land Reclamation at Longport Esso Sidings.
There is such loveliness in stillness...and old things caught up in the rampant overgrowth of new things.
Nothing shall remain; just barely a memory...ah, another of my favorite poems...a sonnet from Shelley...written nearly 200 years ago...
Ozymandias
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said-- "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Statuary found in a recent trip to a reclamation warehouse. Lots of texture and rust here and enough to keep me amused for days, and most probably much longer!
The Central Area or Central Business District (CBD) contains the core financial and commercial districts of Singapore, including eleven urban planning areas, namely Downtown Core, Marina East, Marina South, Museum, Newton, Orchard, Outram, River Valley, Rochor, Singapore River and Straits View as defined by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). Part of the Central Region in the southern part of Singapore, it includes high value land intensely regulated by the URA's urban planning initiatives. It approximately equates to the area which may be referred to as the city despite Singapore being a city in itself.
Singapore River which currently empties into Marina Bay by the Merlion, is a major landmark in this Central Area. The river originally emptied into the Singapore Straits, the main maritime activity site for the colony. The commercial areas which developed on the south banks became the central business district for post-independence Singapore (also known as Golden Shoe). URA groups these areas of commercial activity and calls it the Central Area.
The Central Area has since been expanded by the Government of Singapore and the URA to include the land reclamation of Marina Bay. Many construction projects have been completed on these reclaimed lands with many more still under consideration or development.
Reclamation bar in Indianapolis, IN. March 2023.
The building was built in 1908. Unsure of its original purpose. At some point, it was used as apartments.
I couldn’t find a lot of information on this bar. From Yelp and Google reviews, it seems it closed in 2020. Most likely due to COVID.
The 8,000 lb. safe door came from a demolished bank from downtown. The bar had a prohibition theme with several unique pieces of furniture.
The building is now vacant and the safe door is wide open.
You can see photos of the bar when it was open if you search, Reclamation Bar Indianapolis Yelp reviews.
Hong Kong, China.
Land reclamation is practically endemic to Hong Kong. Because the land area is so small (426 sq miles / 1,104 sq km) for a growing population of more than 7 million, land reclamation projects have been aggressive in this region since the late 1800s. As many residents and visitors will testify, Victoria Harbour’s width has narrowed so much over the centuries that it is predicted that Hong Kong Island will essentially adjoin Kowloon and become a peninsula within the next 50 years.

Wells Fireworks Factory
An original building of the former fireworks factory that closed in the 1970s. The majority of the buildings are simple shed-like structures with work benches inside. Now the site is slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Ocala is a city in Marion County, Florida, United States, which is part of the northern region of the state. As of the 2019 census, its population, estimated by the United States Census Bureau, was 60,786, making it the 49th most populated city in Florida.
It is the seat of Marion County and the principal city of the Ocala, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had an estimated 2017 population of 354,353.
The modern city of Ocala, which was established in 1849, developed around the fort site. Greater Ocala is known as the "Kingdom of the Sun". Plantations and other agricultural development dependent on slave labor were prevalent in the region. Ocala was an important center of citrus production until the Great Freeze of 1894–1895.
Rail service reached Ocala in June 1881, encouraging economic development with greater access to markets for produce. Two years later, much of the Ocala downtown area was destroyed by fire on Thanksgiving Day, 1883. The city encouraged rebuilding with brick, granite and steel rather than lumber. By 1888, Ocala was known statewide as "The Brick City".
In December 1890, the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union, a forerunner of the Populist Party, held its national convention in Ocala. At the convention, the Alliance adopted a platform that would become known as the "Ocala Demands". This platform included abolition of national banks, promoting low-interest government loans, free and unlimited coinage of silver, reclamation of excess railroad lands by the government, a graduated income tax, and direct election of United States senators. Most of the "Ocala Demands" were to become part of the Populist Party platform.
The first thoroughbred horse farm in Florida was developed in Marion County in 1943 by Carl G. Rose. Other farms were developed, making Ocala the center of a horse-breeding area. Local horses have won individual races of the Triple Crown series; in 1978, Affirmed, who was bred and trained in Marion County, won all three races, boosting interest in the industry there.
Ocala is one of only five cities (four in the US and one in France) permitted under Chamber of Commerce guidelines to use the title, "Horse Capital of the World", based on annual revenue produced by the horse industry. 44,000 jobs are sustained by breeding, training, and related support of the equine industry, which generates over $2.2 billion in annual revenue. Pastime Farms LLC and Ocala serve as host to one of the largest horse shows in the country: H.I.T.S or "Horses in the Sun", a Dressage/Jumper event lasting about two months. It generates some 6 to 7 million dollars for the local Marion County economy each year. The show features classes for over 100 different breeds, including Tennessee Walker, Paso Fino, Morgan horse, Saddlebred, Draft horse and the American Quarter Horse. Other equine events in the area include mounted shooting by the Florida Outlaws, as well as endurance rides, barrel races, extreme cowboy events, jumper shows, trick shows, parades, draft pulls, rodeo events and more.
Many historic homes are preserved in Ocala's large residential Historic District, designated in 1984. East Fort King Street features many excellent examples of Victorian architecture. Ocala structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places include the Coca-Cola Building, the E. C. Smith House, East Hall, the Marion Hotel, Mount Zion A.M.E. Church, the Ritz Historic Inn, and Union Train Station.

is the main port facilities in the reclamation along Rambler Channel between Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. It evolves from 4 berths of Kwai Chung Container Port (Chinese: 葵涌貨櫃碼頭) completed in the 1970s. It later expanded with two berths in the 1980s. Two additional terminals are added adjoining to Stonecutters Island in the 1990s and was renamed Kwai Chung Container Terminals. In the 2000s, when Container Terminal 9 on the Tsing Yi Island and was renamed to Kwai Tsing Container Terminals.

A day of landscape photography started with an excellent talk by Charlie Waite and then an explore of the abandoned slate quarry at Dinorwic in North Wales.
A Union Pearson express train travels through a rail corridor with colourful graffiti. Known as “The Reclamation Project”, 50+ artists from across Canada were commissioned by condo developers Urban Corp to revitalize an oft-vandalized concrete sound barrier bordering the train tracks.
